I -1 Dodgeis Climb Tie Bespilte loss To Phmes PAGE-IB Monday, September 23, 1963 HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls. Ore. t v" FINGERS CROSSED Los Angeles Dodgers manager Walter Alston refused to predict a pennant even though his club gained a tie Sunday despite a loss to Pittsburgh. Here, he crosses his lingers. Any combination of a Dod ger win or a St. Louis Cardinal loss will wrap up the pen nant for the Dodgers. UPI Telephoto Dodgers Smell Flag, But Remember 1962 LOS ANGELES (UPD-The Los Angeles Dodgers have the 1963 pennant wrapped up in a gift packape today but they can't open it yet. The Dodgers don't have to win any of their remaining six games to win the flag just as long as the second-place St. Louis Cardi nals lose one of tlieir five re maining james. The Cardinals trail by 5'j flames. The festive champagne was ready for popping Sunday in the Dodger dressing room but it was put back on ice at least until Tuesday. The eighth-place Pittsburgh Pi rates, playing like pennant con tenders, dropped the league lead ers by a 4-0 score. Reds Drop Cardinals Even though they lost, the Dodgers were assured of a tic since the Cardinals lost, 5-2, to Cincinnati. Dodger players had no thought ot celebrating, after they were shut out by the Pirates when Bob Veale and his relief man Roy Face stifled them on three hits by Maury Wills, Tommy Da vis and Jim Gilliam. "Ties are no good," said Don Drysdale who will pilch against the New York Mcts Tuesday night in the opener of a three-game se ries. "You never celebrate a tie." If the pennant race were to be thrown into a playoff, the Dodg ers would have to lose all their remaining six games three against the Mets and three against the Philadelphia Phillies w hile the Cardinals would have to win all of their five jet to play. Off Day Both teams were idle today. The Cardinals play an afternoon game Tuesday against the Cuhs Win Scored By Linfield By United Press International Defending Northwest Conference football champion Linfield scored a 7-0 football victory over East ern Washington at Cheney, Wash., Saturday night. It was t h e Wildcats' 22nd straight regular season victory. Linfield's touchdown came in the second period on a two-yard run by fullback Bob Ferguson. Lewis and Clark, rated as a strong contender id the confer ence this season, overcame a 13-0 deficit in the first half to roll over Portland State 37-26 at Port land. Quarterback Bill Hcnielman passed for two touchdowns and halfback Mickey Hergert ran for two (or the Pioneers. Chico State defeated Pacific 20 17 at Chico. Calif., and College of Idaho shut out Eastern Oregon 27 0 at La Grande. Halfback Stan Solomon scored two touchdowns, including one on a 92-yard kickoff return, to spark the Willamette alumni to a 21-19 decision over the Bearcats' varsity at Salem. Weber rolled up 4.19 total yards and stopped Southern Oregon 40-32 at Ogden. Utah, to avenge a 2fi-7 loss suffered to the Bed Raiders last year. Quarterback Bill Bailey hit 20 of 35 passes attempted for 171 yards for the losers. The Seattle Ramblers edged Oregon Tech 14-12 at Kiamath FalLs and Oregon College of Edu cation posted a M- victory oer George Fox at Monmouth. FIRST TITLE CANTON. Ohio ilTl' The Canton Bulldogs won the first Na tional Football League title in 1922 with a record of 10 win. I no losses and two t-es. at Chicago and if they lose, the Dodgers would clinch the pen nantwithout lifting a bat or glove. By the time the Dodgers start their game Tuesday evening with the Mcts, the race could be all over something of an anticli max. Johnny Podres started for the Dodgers and had a rough first in ning when he gave up one run on three singles. He settled down and struck out Bill Virdon with the bases loaded to end the in ning. The Pirates got to Podres for another run in the sixth on a pair of singles by Don Clendenon and the Dodger southpaw was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the seventh. Podres is now 14-11. Penn State Tips Ducks By Defense PORTLAND (UPl Penn State had a new offense, but coach Rip Engle wanted to talk about de fense after his Nittany Lions shocked Oregon 17-7 in a season- opening football game Saturday r.ight. "That was as good a defensive effort as we've come up with in a long, long time," Engle noted. "1 was afraid we d be much too slow, but I guess we're faster than we figured. I was scared to death of that Oregon speed." The much-heralded speed of the Oregon backfield that already had brought it the "Firehouse Four" tag burned the Nittany Lions only once. That was in the third quar ter when halfback Larry Hill got away for 54 yards to sot up the Ducks' only touchdown. Otherwise, the Penn State de fense led by guard Bernie Sabol and tackle Harrison Rosdahl held All-American halfback Mel Ren- Ifrn to 44 yards in 11 carries and ! Hill to 37 in 10 tries. I The Lions marched 80 yards in I the first quarter to take a 7-0 lead on quarterback Pete Liske's eight lyard pass to halfback Junior Pow ell. Oregon, rated a two-point favor ite at game time, tied it at 7-7 in the third period when Renfro scored on a one-yard dive after HilP run Ron Coates put Penn State goal on the first play of the final period and Liske passed 40 yards to Don Caum for the (inal score midway in the quarter after an Oregon drive died on the Penn State 30. Engle took the wraps off what he called his "Swing-T" offense, using an end split 12 to 15 yards wide on every play and frequently an unbalanced line. Backs Gary Klingensmith and Tom L'rbanick ran up Oregon's middle against an inexperienced line all night for 85 and 46 yards, respectively, in 12 carries each. Liske completed II of 12 passes for 113 yards, including one to himself for a five-yard loss. It had been batted in the air by a Duck d fender. "He is just a good passer," Ore gon coach Len Casanova offered later. "Penn State used stuff we hadn't expected." Casanova ad mitted. He praised the lineback ing of Oliver McKinney.

The Dodgers have learned their lesson. Anybody else might be digging the corkscrew into the cham pagne. The Dodgers are keeping their bottles on ice. Los Angeles clinched at least tie for the National League pennant Sunday when the St. Louis Cardinals lost to the Cincin nati Reds, 5-2. The Dodgers could have clinched the flag by beat ing the Pittsburgh Pirates, but instead dropped a 4-0 decision.

"You never celebrate a tie," explained pitcher Don Drysdale. This was a distinct turnabout from last year's reaction after the Dodgers had clinched a tie with two days remaining in the season. They held an impromptu celebration and then lost their final two games and the playoffs.

But today Camilo is indeed good example of consistency the only 20-gamc winner of 1962 OSU Coach Has Praise For Offense SALV LAKE CITY (UPI) -"That's the kind of a team we may be this year," Oregon Slate football Coach Tommy Prothro ol fered. He spoke after the Beavers ex ploded for four touchdowns in a seven-minute span to come from behind and defeat Utah 29-14 here Saturday night. A crowd of 17.381 watched the opening season inlersectional game. 'We scored 29 points In seven minutes and four seconds and the rest of the time wa bumbled around out there," Prothro con tinued. "1 would like a lot more continuity of offense." The Beavers, minus graduated All - America quarterback Terry Baker, trailed 14-0 in the second period. But they tied tlie score at half time at 14-14 by coming back with two touchdowns in the quarter. Fullback Bruce Williams scored on a one-yard plunge and ehd Len Frketich tallied on a 12-yard pass from quarterback Gordon Queen. Oregon State took command in the opening minute of the second half by moving 64 yards in four plays for a touchdown capped by a 36-yard scoring aerial from Queen to slar end Vein Burke It was Burke's only reception of the game. Sophomore fullback Charlie Shaw rambled 67 yards for Ihe Beavers' final touchdown in the same quarter. "Burke made Ihe play that got us out of the woods." Prothro said, "They spent a lot of time covering him but he got the long bomb. Utah's touchdowns came on a 53-yard run by halfback Andy Ire land in Ihe first period and a 10- yard run by fullback Allan Jacobs in the second quarter. The Redskins held a 17-16 edge in first downs and a 334-310 lead in total yards over the Beavers Oregon State will meet Colorado at Multnomah Stadium in Portland next Saturday night.

Pascual struck out nine to lift his season mark to 193 seven short of his third straight Sport Parade: No Nightmares As LA Nears Pennant By OSCAR FRALEY L'PI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UPI) - The Los Angeles Dodgers are one week ahead of last season today and despite chills and fever there is a suspicion in this corner that there will be no walk down night mare alley this time around. A year ago, one week hence, they were in a tie for the Na tional League pennant and blew it in the playoff. At present they have a week to win one, or see the Cardinals drop just one. and it's all over except the World Series shouting. Now anybody will admit that they can't beat the Yanks in the Series, anyhow. That is, anybody but old Fearless. Frankly, they are probably go ing to have to use mirrors, or home umpires, or get Sandy Kou fax to pitch four straight games. or something. Which is why Ihe fellers in the back room make the Yanks 6-5 to win the opener and 8-5 to cop the series. Anyhow, as an old National League rooter, I've got it figured out thusly. It will be Sandy of the Koufax clan against Whitey of the Fords the first contest at Yankee Stadium while, in the second em broglio the Dodgers will call on an old Yankee beater named Johnny Podres against young Al Down ing. Ford is considered well nigh un beatable in the massive Bronx bailyard but it has been known to 6 1 raiitae iuraxi.1 t , ..

Jim Gil liam beat out a bunt to load the bases before Face got Tommy Davis and Frank Howard on pop flies to end the game. Cincinnati got three unearned runs in the third inning as the result of an error by Julian Jav ier and the Cardinals were un able to catch up against the six hit pitching of Joe Nuxhall (14-8'. season with 200 or more strike outs. Killebrew Homer Red-hot Harmon Killebrew hit his fifth homer in three games and his 45th of the season and Jim Hall and George Banks also homered for the Twins. Minneso ta's club total of 224 homers is second in major league history only to the 240 hit by Ihe 1961 New York Yankees. The New York Yankees nipped the Kansas City A s, 4-3, the Cln- cago White Sox edged the Detroit happen. The major item is that he can't win without runs and somewhere along the way it ap pears from here that Sandy's comrades will scrape him up a score and he'll win it. The odds at this point will drop to 7-5 favoring the Yanks and Podres will come on to out-expe- rience young Mr. Downing in what we call in the trade a real gas- ser. The odds now w ill go down to even money and, alter a day oil for the six-hour trip to Los Ange les, the Yankees w ill moider Don Drysdale to cop a win for Jim Bouton. This will happen because Drysdale has to be clubbed by a covey of left-handed hitters, But then Koufax will come dashing to the fore again for Wal ter O'Millionaire s legions and the Dodgers will be leading, three games to one. At this point tlie oddsmakers might condescend to make the Yankees no worse than even monev. This juncture then calls for Podres to appear on the scene and wrap up the whole ball of wax, with a great deal of finish ing work by one Ron Perranoski. The Scries will end, four games to one in favor of the Dodgers, and everybody can relax and realize that the football season is almost half over. Don't doubt it. The Yankees have the power, the speed and the pitching. If you don't pick 'em, you must I be as nutty as I am. years old , . I Vada Pinson recorded his 200th hit of the season for the Reds, a two-run triple. Willie McCovey blasted three consecutive home runs off three different pitchers to give him the league lead in homers with 43. Willie Mays also homered for the Giants, who collected 16 hits. Bob Buhl went all the way for his 11th victory and helped his own cause by driving in three runs for the Braves. The Colts rallied for both their runs in the ninth inning, the.scc- ond coming home on rookie Joe Morgan's first major league hit. Victory; Season Tigers, 3-2, the Cleveland Indians whipped the Los Angeles Angels, 5-3 and 2-1, and the Washington Senators beat the Baltimore Oil' oles, 4-2, after a 6-3 loss in other! American League games. Al Downing scattered nine hits and struck out six to score his 13th win for the Yankees, whose seven-hit attack included a two run homer by Joe Pepitone. Floyd Robinson and Ron Hans en homered for the While Sox as Joe Horlcn won his 10th decision with late-inning relief help from Hoyt Wilhelm. Fred Whitfield drove in two hit his runs and Tommy Agee first big league homer for Cleve land in the first game and the Indians won tlie 11-inning night cap on Johnny Romano s run- producing single. Sam Bowcns, a rookie recently recalled from Rochester, drove in three runs with two doubles and two singles to help Robin Roberts win his 14th game for the Ori oles, but the Senators gained a split on the strength of run-pro- ducing eighth-inning singles by Don Lock and John Kennedy. Stu Miller made his 69th relief ap pearance of the season for tlie Orioles in the opener leaving mm one short of the league mark of 70 set by the Bed Sox' Mike Fornicles in I960.
